Setting Broil

The Broil function cooks meats that require direct exposure to
radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broil is factory
preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil temperature may be set at
any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Broil Auto Shut Off: If oven door is open for more than one
minute during Broil the control will beep. If door is not closed it
will turn off Broil element after another 30 seconds.

•

Broiling can produce smoke. If smoke is excessive, place
food further away from the broil element

•

Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool. Broil with
door closed.

•

The broil pan with broil pan insert allow the grease to drain
away from the high heat of the broiler and help avoid
spatter and reduce smoking. Do not use the pan without the
insert. Do not cover the insert with foil - the exposed grease
could ignite. Note: If a broiler pan and insert are not
supplied with the appliance, they may be purchased from
Sears. Call 1-800-4-MY-HOME (1-800-4663) and order
broil pan kit 5304442087.

•

When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing foo

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using

the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door

and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extin-
guisher. Do not put water or flour on fire. Flour may be explo-
sive.

* The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means

some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA) The lowest temperature recommended

by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC). NOTE: Broiling is direct heat cooking and will pro-

duce some smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from element. Always watch foods carefully to prevent burning.
